This newsletter has been started to share information regarding library practices, new technologies, trainings, and other themes of librarians’ interest. Muhammad Asif Munir As you all know that PLWO is a voluntary organization so in order to expand the organization we always seek volunteers who can perform for the betterment and welfare of their peers as well as for themselves. Let me assure you that every individual is important and has wonderful capabilities. The need is to cognize your importance and hidden potential and start work as a team member. Since with team effort we can do miracles as you have witnessed the revival of PLA was not less than a miracle which had been initiated by PLWO and it hap- pened due to combine efforts of LIS community in Pakistan. Similarly, we need to muster up our efforts and solve our problems collectively whatsoever those are. I would like to pay my sincere thanks to everyone who have given his/her willingness to work voluntarily for this es- teemed organization and make it popular and respected among library professionals in Pakistan. I am finishing this note with the hope that everyone amongst us will come forward and initiate work for our own development. Thank you and regards, Here we can put some interesting Muhammad Asif Munir links President Pakistan Librarians Welfare organization 1 “The Librarian": A Quarterly Newsletter of PLWO Volume 1, Issue 1 January 2014 Interview of Mr. Abid Ali Gill (Chief Librarian Quaid-e-Azam Library) By Fouzia Ahmed & Waqar Awan Mr. Abid Ali Gill is serving as Chief Librarian, Quaid-e-Azam Library Lahore. He has a remarkable experience in LIS profession. He has been an active professional throughout his life and holds a long list of achievements. Q: Brief about your early education and life? I did M.A. Lib Sc. in 1982, from the University of the Punjab and at that time there was no opportunity of M.Phil and P.hd. was available. I was selected as Assistant Librarian (BS16) in Education Department, Govt. of the Punjab (College Cadre) and posted at Quaid-e-Azam Library, Bagh-e-Jinnah, Lahore. I have served 33 years in the profession in different capacities i.e. as Librarian as Chief Librarian, University of Heath Sciences and Model Mr. Abid Ali Gill Town Library. Presently, I am serving as Chief Librarian, Quaid-e-Azam Library, Lahore and going to be retired in May,2014. Q: How did you come to librarianship? By chance, or by choice? Like other Pakistani Librarians, I joined this profession accidentally. However, after joining this profession, I am fully satisfied with my profession because it is a noble profession and librarian remains in contact with knowledgeable people and learns a lot from them for whole life. Q: When and how did you start your professional career? After being selected through commission I joined Quaid-i-Azam Library. Q: Please tell us about your family? My wife is a housewife and I have one son, who has done BCS from Australia and now serving there and one daughter who has done M.phil in Applied linguistics. Q: Your favorite book? I am more inclined towards the books on Sufism and I have read almost all books on the topic. However ,Mo’ta Imam Malik is my favorite book because it can be ranked as first book on Hadith. Among the new authors who write on the subject I like Wasif Ali Wasif, Syed Sarfraz Shah, Baba Yahaya, Prof. Ahmed Rafiq and Bilal Qutab Q: Your favorite personality? Overall Hazrat Omar Bin Abdul Aziz and if we talk about profession, I idealize Prof. Dr. Mumtaz Anwar. Q: Tell us about a memorable moment in your life; a time you will never forget. There are many memorable events during my service as Librarian/In charge Reference Section at the Quaid-e-Azam Library. However, when I assumed charge as Chief Librarian was the most significant moment in my professional life. Q: How you are spending your life after the office time? Most of my time is spent in office doing different tasks, but after that I read books and watch good English movies. Q: Would you please like to share an event or issue when you got hurt during your professional career? Yes I remember few years back one day one commissioner came to my office and enquired about few books, at that time library’s operations were not auto- mated and it took us few minutes to find the books, in the mean time I found his attitude very rude and arrogant, which made me very upset as I was trying to provide him my services at the best and he was misbehaving. So I asked my peon to find books for him. He kept sitting in my office with his shoes on the table, which made me sad. 2 Interview continue on p.3 “The Librarian": A Quarterly Newsletter of PLWO Volume 1, Issue 1 January 2014 Q: What makes you happy in young professionals? the betterment of profession and professionals?

Abdus Salam: A Timeline 46 Acknowledgements 52 List of Photographs 53 Further Reading 54 3 INTRODUCTION 4 INTRODUCTION When Professor Michael Duff first mentioned Tasneem Zehra Husain to me, I was intrigued. Here was someone who had never met my father, but had studied him so closely that she could write with certainty and purpose. I have read as much as I can about my father over the years, to see how others viewed him. I have inevitably disagreed with some of the authors and some of their conclusions. I have also noted many factual errors in their work, but with Tasneem, I found very few which is a testament to the quality and depth of her research. In addition Tasneem has only commented on facts presented to her. She has not trivialized nor tried to downplay any parts of his character. Equally she has not been sycophantic nor has she ‘sugar coated’ the story of Abdus Salam.

  • Pakistan's Nuclear Exports
    PAKISTAN’S NUCLEAR EXPORTS: WAS THERE A STATE STRATEGY? Paper prepared for the Nonproliferation Policy Education Center Bruno Tertrais 20 July 2006 How the Network Operated Most Pakistani nuclear-related exports began about a decade after their imports network was set up. The Pakistanis thus had acquired a very significant experience in dealing with nuclear transfers, legal and illegal. Contacts and procedures used for Pakistani imports were sometimes of direct use to exports when they involved transfers from Western firms, intermediaries and shell companies. The network exported two different things: know-how on uranium enrichment and weapons design, and centrifugation technology. Its clients were North Korea, Iran, Iraq, Libya, and maybe others. Once fully matured, it comprised several main “nodes”: the UAE (the “company’s headquarters”), Malaysia, Turkey, and South Africa – not including various personal properties around the world.1 There were half a dozen “workshops” around the globe, with Dubai serving as the main platform for re- exporting.2 AQ Khan set up dozens of shell companies to that effect, sometimes just for one-time use. A total of about 50 people were actively involved in the network.3 But AQ Khan operated with a dozen of key close associates. It was a “family business”. Those included: - Buhary Syed Abu Tahir, a Sri Lankan national. He was, so to say, the “chief operating officer” of the exports network. His involvement started in the second part of the 1980s.4 His “headquarters” were the Dubai-based firm SMB Computers. - Peter Griffin (a British national) and Mohammed Farooq (a Pakistani official), who were both involved also in the imports network.

Abstract We review the status of the electric dipole moment (EDM) of neutron in the Standard Model (SM). The contributions of the strong and electroweak interactions are discussed separately. In each case the structure of the Lagrangian and the sources of CP violation are specified, and subsequently calculational details are given. These two contributions to the neutron EDM exist in any extension of the SM including supersymmetry, two-doublet models as well as models with more than three generations of fermions. We briefly discuss the status of the neutron EDM in such extensions and give the relevant literature.
